I'm having a similar problem with TOPIx, and my Defender had a build date of 4/27. My guess is that whatever was being done in the past isn't being done anymore. Kind of a bummer, but oh well...I guess in another month or so it won't matter anyway

Received an update today from the dealer - it's on a ship(MV Tarago - sailing between Bremmerhaven and Southampton>Baltimore) for delivery about June 15!

Man. I thought I was the only one. Interesting -- exact same error.

Meanwhile, car is in Oxnard, waiting for a truck apparently. Was due to dealer this week, but likely not making it.

There's at least one post (can't remember where or who) where the user was able to register and log into TopIx. But as you say, it no longer seems to work. Hopefully, that may change.

My dealer gave me a screenshot that had the logistics detail and included the vessel name. It’s not as detailed.

Toronto area.
Ordered March 9th, but I think the actual order date is the 16th.
It has been over 2 months, no build date yet.

Just Canada, or is this normal for the current situation?

Seems odd and might have something to do with your dealers allocation. What is your dealer telling you?

I put in a (refundable) deposit for a 110 V8 recently and the dealer told me LR doesn't have orders open for it yet, but they expect to soon. Anybody else hear the same thing?

The talk going around is that the V8 production will be very limited and many dealers have not yet received a V8 order allocation.

Some people have reported confirmed orders of V8s.

Talked to my cousin today who is a manager at a dealer in SC. He said they have two V8s on order, were allowed to order for the dealership in March, I believe before the official launch date.
